The Bechdel Test isn't about critiquing any particular text. It's about cumulative effect. Applying it to a single canon means nothing - the entire point is the utter mindfuck of realising how few works meet such minimal criteria when looking at culture as a whole.
Complaining that something doesn't pass Bechdel is about pointing out that its contributing to a greater cultural problem of women's stories not getting told because all the time and money goes into men's stories. I think that's perfectly legitimate feminism.
